[Intro]
D G C Em
[Verse 1]
D G C Am Em
Sun peekin' over the dusty trail, rooster crowin' his wake-up call Coffee steam swirls
A D G C Am Em
in the crisp mornin' air, another day on the family farm Work boots laced, gotta mend
A D G C Am Em
the fence, gotta herd the cattle 'fore the day gets hot Simple livin', ain't got much
A D G C
to spend, but this land's all I ever wanted, that's a fact
[Chorus]
G D C Em Am A
Yeah, these calloused hands and this worn-out hat Tell the story of a life I wouldn't
G D C Em Am A
trade for anything, that's that Dirt beneath my fingernails, sweat on my brow There's
G D C Em Am
a peace here in the country, that just fills me somehow
[Verse 2]
D G C Am Em
Fireflies blinkin' in the twilight hush, crickets chirp a sweet serenade Stars splashin'
A D G C Am Em
paint across the velvet sky, feels like heaven ain't too far away Sittin' on the porch
A D G C Am
swing with my sweet gal, listenin' to her gentle sigh Talkin' 'bout dreams and our
Em
future
A D G
plans, beneath a million firefly lights
[Chorus]
G D C Em Am A
Yeah, these calloused hands and this worn-out hat Tell the story of a life I wouldn't
G D C Em Am A
trade for anything, that's that Dirt beneath my fingernails, sweat on my brow There's
G D C Em Am
a peace here in the country, that just fills me somehow
[Bridge]
C D G Am Em A C
Some folks chase city lights and fame, fortune's whisper in their ear But for me, this
D G Am Em A
land's my fortune and my name, and the roots I've planted here run deep, my dear
[Chorus]
G D C Em Am A
Yeah, these calloused hands and this worn-out hat Tell the story of a life I wouldn't
G D C Em Am A
trade for anything, that's that Dirt beneath my fingernails, sweat on my brow There's
G D C Em Am
a peace here in the country, that just fills me somehow
[Outro]
C D G Am Em A
Yeah, this land, this life, it fills me somehow, fills me somehow There's a peace
C D G Em
here in the country, that fills me somehow
